The natives are getting restless! Better break out the ‘Types of Roadkill’ or ‘Why I Ate a Block of Velveeta By Myself’ stories soon, or else.

Have just read your latest CN offering – I think I liked the "Lance intervention" better – I was still giggling like a schoolgirl five days after I read it (I’m not a schoolgirl…).p.s. won’t Uncle Bill get grumpy that you bought grumpy uncle Steve’s toy ??

I remember being really excited the first time I had wild boar. In my head, it was: "Wow! Wild Boar! These Romans are crazy, by Toutatis!" I was extremely disappointed when it tasted like pork.Incidentally, among Scottish clans "The" is an honorific applied to the Chief of the clan. Thus, there are many McDonalds but only one McDonald, who is referred to as The McDonald. As with McDonalds, so with Coshes!

Congratulations on your new job!Un-congratulations on your new weight, but it’s temporary, right? Actually, 2 lbs. or so doesn’t seem too bad given the recent stuff-a-thon! And I still think it was a magnificent sacrifice on your part to make such a concerted effort to eat lots of cake, ice cream, and pizza to make your wife happy on her birthday.Also, I have heard that wild boar is denser than domestic boar, so that may account for some of it.Great blog! A change of tempo and funny at the same time.Bery crevah, you Chinese! (A line from some bad movie when I was a kid, I think.)

I made The Cake, by the way, and it was good. I did, however, commit the tactical error of using Nestle "retains shape in oven" milk chocolate nubbins, thereby losing most of the melts-and-runs-through-batter-during-baking benefit. Also, those particular chocolate chips aren’t really that nice, most likely due to whatever carcinogenic slime stops them from melting at almost twice the (metric) boiling point of water. Eww.The general consensus, though, was that it was a damn fine cake, and I should make it again, but with manually-chopped-up high-quality dark chocolate.Which I’m going to do tomorrow.Enjoy your ride and new set of Evil Empire minion duties…

For those of us who share the disease, the bullet list of "I’d rather X than ride my bike" is pretty short and probably mostly not suited to a family blog. I know "blog" is not on my personal list. But then I don’t have much of an audience.Also, I see I’ve missed a few opportunities to chastize you, so you need to write more about not meeting your weight goals. Ah, but the week is young…
